The Rose Bowl is usually played on January 1 (New Year's Day) at the stadium of the same name in Pasadena, California. Nicknamed The Granddaddy of Them All, the Rose Bowl is the oldest bowl game and part of the annual Tournament of Roses event. The game was first played in 1902, pitting Michigan against Stanford, but after Michigan's 49-0 win over Stanford, Tournament of Roses officials did not stage another game until 1916 when, instead of a football game, chariot races were held. The game was resumed in 1916. Before the Rose Bowl stadium was built in 1923, games were played in Pasadena's Tournament Park, approximately three miles southeast of the current stadium. The Tournament also includes the Tournament of Roses Parade, which is nationally televised and features floats covered with flowers and plants. The Rose Bowl game also serves as the host for the BCS National Championship Game every fourth year .
